Martha Grover is known for wheel-thrown and altered and/or slab-built porcelain tableware and other functional pottery. Grover?s decorative technique includes the use of pastel to white glazes that typically feature iron-rich spatters in key areas of her undulated vessel work. Work is fired in an electric kiln.
Grover?s work is highly altered in the wet stage. Her altering process uses ribs, water, and sponges in the reshaping process for curves in vessel walls. Signature forms include stand-alone and wall mounted perfume bottles, vases, tulipieres, boxes, and baskets.
